Betrixaban - the next direct factor Xa inhibitor?
Authors: Thoenes M, Minguet J, Bramlage K, Bramlage P, Ferrero C Abstract INTRODUCTION: Venous thromboembolism is a major global health burden. Since the 1930s, prevention of stroke and pulmonary embolism in these patients has been achieved using conventional anticoagulants, such as heparin and warfarin. However, in recent years, four direct non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have entered the market as alternative treatment options. Betrixaban is a fifth DOAC looking to gain marketing approval in the near future, and may have several potentially beneficial properties. Areas covered: Here, we outli...

Reservations against new oral anticoagulants after stroke and cerebral bleeding
Abstract: Dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban are the new oral anticoagulants (NOAC) which have been investigated in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) for primary and secondary prevention of stroke and thromboembolism. In these trials NOAC had a similar efficacy and safety profile compared to traditional vitamin-K-antagonists such as warfarin. We advise caution in the use of NOAC in patients with stroke or cerebral hemorrhage because of the following reasons:1) Patients with cerebral bleeding were excluded from the trials. 2) Stroke within 14days and severe stroke within 6months before screening were exclusion crite...
